He came up from the minors in the 1975-76 season and posted a 6-4-0 record. He also played in six games in the seven-game playoff series against the New England Whalers, and was the winning goaltender for the Racers in all three of their victories, posting a 2.46 GAA in the playoffs and two shutouts. He had a 2.41 GAA during the regular season. He played 31 games in 1976-77, going 14-12-4 with a 3.96 GAA and one shutout. He played 12 games the following season. All told, he posted a 23-23-4 record with the Racers and a 3.70 career GAA. When the Checkers were formed in 1979, he and Richard Brodeur formed the first goaltending tandem that season. Park played 43 games for the Checkers -- 37 in 1979-80, six the following year -- posting a 19-17-3 mark and a 3.25 GAA. Shortly after retiring in 1982, Park opened a goaltending school in Toronto, which is now in its 27th summer of operation. A native of Toronto, Park is 59.
